If your log compiles successfully, but you are missing pattern blocks for some lithologic intervals, there's probably a "keyword" problem. Check the following:
- Be sure that the keyword you used for that interval is defined in the Keyword File.
- Click on the Lithology tab containing the keywords.
- Double-click on the keyword for the missing interval.
- If that keyword is not displayed in the Keyword Selector window, click the Edit Keywords button and add the keyword to the list.
- The Keyword Editor can also be accessed directly from the Options | Keyword Editor menu.
- Be sure that the Keyword File (.lpkey) and Pattern File (.RwPat) that the program should use are correctly defined using the Options | System Files command.
- Be sure there are not duplicate keywords in the current keyword file, which can result from appending keyword files or from simple oversight. When searching for keyword matches, LogPlot will use the first keyword it finds in the keyword file and ignore any additional, identical entries.
If you are missing ALL of the lithologic patterns, it's probably a "name" problem.
- Access the Log Designer window and double-check that the item whose patterns are missing has the same name as the datasheet containing the keyword and depth intervals.
-
For example, if the patterns are missing from a Lithology Pattern column, check that column's name in the log design against the name of Lithology datasheet in the data editor.
Or, you might want to access the Data Editor window and use the Check Data Against Log Design tool, which will give you a report of which items do not match between the current log design and data file.
